    What tyres do you use

    on your 15" BBS rims

    I have Dunlop Lemans on currently but two need replacing.
    They don't make this size anymore

    What do you guys recommend other than 17"s

    Cheers

    Probably a bit on the expensive side but oh so worth it - Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3. Previous owner of my 15" wheels had them fitted on near new before he sold them to me. They're fantastic, especially in this weather.

    Continental sport contact or premium contact - the best tyre you'll get. made by germans for german cars. also, i trust a mechanic who races 300hp beetles on his tyre choice.

    the cheaper option - Firestone firehawk wideoval - incredibly good tyre for the money, great sidewall strength, good all weather grip, not too soft.

    Haha no harm messing around

    Also, play around with this: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

    Look for your tyre size, search it on that website and read some customer's comments. They're American so you might come into all-season tyres (i.e. with snow capabilities) so make sure you look carefully.

    Ive got cheap falkens @140 each. Theyre 195/50/R15 which is a tad small even for my lowered golf, in hindsight 195/55 would be ok and shouldnt scrub.

    DUNLOP DIREZZA DZ101 I'm using...
    which is something similar to GIII and so as the price tag
    Going good on wet and its not as noisy as the GIIIs

    If on a budget, I have found Hankook K104s to be great bang for buck.
